Wrong zif cable, can I get another?

So I accidentally bought the wrong model ssd drive for Macbook Air A1304. I went to swap the hard drive out but realized the cable is was too small to fit into the drive. The drive is a 1.8 zif 128 ssd drive with 40 pins for the model A1237. My question is if I buy a flex cable for this new ssd drive will it be compatible for my mac or are the motherboards diffrent? Also if I am not able use a A1237 flex cable where can I find a ssd for my A1304.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Apple used two different drive cables in this series. Either its a MacBook Air (Original) Hard Drive Cable, Apple P/N: 922-8320 or a MacBook Air (Late 2008/Mid 2009) Hard Drive Cable, Apple P/N: 922-8768. Follow this IFIXIT guide for the details on what is different (review the images in Step15): MacBook Air Models A1237 and A1304 Hard Drive Replacement.
